News flash: Johnny Holmes thinks Johnny Holmes did a great job

For you nostalgia buffs, the Houston Chronicle this week ran an inexplicably timed hagiography of former Harris County District Attorney Johnny Holmes. (Was it his birthday or something?) All I can say in response to this puff piece is that Holmes' tenure, like Lubbock, apparently looks better when viewed in the rear-view mirror.

The timing for the article was based on the number of prisoners executed from Harris County.

That's what I mean that it was "inexplicable." When couldn't you write THAT story?
